[edit] How The Atlantic Works and Looks
The Atlantic has several similarities to the opulent vehicles of the 1930's such as the aforementioned Bugatti Type 57 Atlantique (or Atlantic). Its styling is also more than a little inspired by the Talbot-Lago T150 SS Coupe that was constructed in 1938. Some wonderful retro details in the Chrysler Atlantic include an inline 8-cylinder engine that was actually constructed from two 4-cylinder Dodge Neon engines. Other retro touches to the car's look include the interior that is replete with Art Deco-style gauges. The Atlantic Concept has around 360 horsepower and uses Chrysler's Autostick transmission. It was one of Chrysler's most popular concept vehicles and has proven popular enough to still make the occasional public appearance even after more than a decade.
